Starting one more time

Friday, October 07, 2011

Here I am starting again like I have never been here before. I am hoping that this is the last time I start. And then, yesterday, I eat some tortilla chips without measuring - so over my calories, I quit tracking it. And today, candy. Today, at least, I am still under calories, so I have room to spare. I even put in some drinks for tonight in case I decide to go out and I am in my range. Well, kind of. I count each drink as 1 ounce - not completely accurate, but it has always worked for me in the past. Besides, it's not like I can measure what the bartenders put in the cup.

What worries more is the weekends. I can be perfect all week, then the weekend hits and I just kind of go nuts. It's the unstructured part that bugs me. During the week, I am on a schedule that dictates when I eat and on the weekends, I don't have that. Plus, I am more likely to go out for some drinks. Once that hits, I just throw in the towel the next day a lot of times. If I happen to go out during the week, then it is doubly bad

I need to be able to go out and still stay in control the day after. I think moving the weigh in day to Wednesday will help. At least, this way, I know I still have a couple days to get back on track if I mess up once. I won't become a black hole....hopefully
